With full-match replays, social media hits and stats galore, there may be some semblance of wisdom in this week's episode as Jess and Jacob reflect on our defeat to Gloucester-Hartpury, which is full of positives but also easy fixes ahead of our tough away fixture to Chiefs. We slightly panic about injuries, but praise our team performances, resilience, fight and fitness and showcase the difference between this fixture and the last time we played Gloucester-Hartpury away. With Tiger Watch on WXV, chats about male allyship at the club and our own little rant (or Cheika Chat as Jess calls it) about the ongoing independent match day doctor debacle means this is another bumper of an LTW Fancast episode.…

We then move on to preview the return of Premiership Women’s Rugby as Tigers will be travelling to Kingsholm on Sunday 6th October live on TNT Sports to take on defending champions Gloucester-Hartpury. This result is by no means a foregone conclusion, and having the far better of PWR Up Series campaigns as well as being less affected by WXV call-ups, we think this game is the best time for Tigers Women to be playing the Slater Cup!…

We round off the pod by getting excited by that Sale game, how Tigers could look to build up the previous weeks into a performance that can get us that elusive prize, our first top-flight victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road but are also weary of Sale, fresh off a bye week, looking to avenge their home defeat to us earlier in the season.

We over-celebrate so the girls don’t have to and can keep calm heads as they have a week off. We are delighted to be joined by Woman-of-the-Moment, local gal and Tigers superfan Leah Bartlett who’s 80 minute shift dominating the scrum, holding players over the line and, yes of course, scoring the winning try on Sunday’s game all helped the team to victory. She chats us on calling scrums off the mark, gives an insight on post-match celebrations and her take on Scotland going into the Women’s Six Nations in April. After this, the two JBs are brought back to earth with more Player Profile, this time Welsh international centre Becca de Filippo, and chatting about a poll we ran on why attendances at home games have been low thus far this season, and the great opportunities the PWR has to continuing growing in its own limelight with the Six Nations-enforced break for the Gallagher Men’s Premiership. Enjoy!…

Sailing Away from the Bears with Nick Heath, Bristol Bears Women (H) Review, Sale Sharks Women (A) Preview 2:04:48

In a tough weekend for Leicester folk with the M69 Derby loss against Cov for Leicester City and a tough loss against La Rochelle for the men, Jess and Jacob are back to digest a nasty-looking defeat for the girls from the weekend against Bristol Bears women. After digressions of Jacob’s antics as part of the Hinckley Gentlemen on Tour in La Rochelle, we look over the game which was on TNT so that means we actually have a full-match replay to look over yay! We are then delighted to be joined by one of the game’s top commentators, Nick Heath, to discuss his views on Tigers settling into the PWR and the big news story of the week that the women’s Lions is full-steam ahead for 2027. Our player profile is then on Scotland’s Leah Bartlett and how the women’s team could be looking to replicate the fearsome ABC prop school of the men’s team from the last 30 years before previewing the away fixture against Sale Sharks this Sunday. Enjoy the latest episode of the Fran McGee-Whiz/Magic-Meg/Totally-not-a-Dan-Cole-cult-fanclub-fancast LTW Fancast!…

Always two there are, no more no less - Double headers and double interviews! 2:08:52

The two JBs are back after meeting for the first time in person at the double header at the weekend, which we go over in detail on the positives and where Tigers Women just agonisingly fell short. Jacob is then joined for a quick catch-up with Mike Cooper, co-host of our elder sister podcast the Rolling Maul, to chat about Star Wars and more importantly how the club is promoting the women’s side in general. Jess is then joined by club stalwart Churchy Knight on her rugby journey, her time at the club and adjusting to PWR from playing for Tigers last season in Championship 1 North. We then preview the next game which is at home at Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Saturday at 1pm and is also (finally) again on TNT Sports. It’s another, you guessed it, BUMPER episode.…

After a Christmas and New Year’s break, Jess and Jacob are back! Restocked with new Tigers tops thanks to Father Christmas and plenty of Pork pies (and with Jess recovering from a nasty bug), we finally review the home game defeat to league leaders Sarries in which we pay reverence to that superb team try scored by Fran McGhie that had Sarries pushing the Marlie Packer panic button. After that we go through the two rounds of PWR action with Tigers going on a bye week, and focus on not just the success of Big Game 15 but also where Tigers can look to target a unusually out of form Quins side. We also are back with another in depth Player Profile with looking at Team GB Olympic Sevens athlete Celia Quansah as we look into the relationship between women’s rugby and LGBT/Q+ and BAME representation and how Project Rugby could be expanded to work with the PWR as well as the men’s game. We round off this mega, not bumper, mega episode with a preview of this weekend’s London double header fixture, with the men playing Saracens with the women taking on Quins afterwards, including quality analysis such as raving about Ellie Kildunne’s hair, Jacob’s lucky socks and (you guessed it) pies!

Panic Ye Not and Pathways with Fraser Goatcher - Ealing Trailfinders (A) Review and Saracens (H) Preview 1:39:10

Jess and Jacob are back with another episode, as we process the double shock of a tough defeat away to fellow league newcomers Ealing as well as the news that scrum coach Rocky Clark has left the club by mutual consent, so that means only one thing, nerding about SCRUMS. Afterwards, they delve deep into the player pathways now set up at the club as Jess interviews Fraser Goatcher who is the Head of Pathway at Leicester Tigers Women alongside his role as Head Coach of partner club Lichfield Women. If that isn’t enough, our Player Profile is former figure skater and Swedish star Amanda Swartz, which Jacob tries desparately and probably unsuccessfully to tie into his swing dancing, as well as a bit of an insight on Swedish women’s rugby as a whole. This week’s pod is rounded off as we preview the extremely daunting, but by no means predetermined, home fixture against league leaders Sarries…

This week’s pod is Scottish focused (did Jacob mention he was playing Banquo in Macbeth?), as we discuss the positives from a frustratingly close home defeat to county rivals Loughborough from the double header at the weekend. This week's player profile focuses on Scotland’s Eva Donaldson, before Jess catches up with Lucy Brown who used to be a part of Scotland’s development programme. We then finish off our Scottish theme with a brilliant interview with Tigers’ hooker and Scottish international Elis Martin. If that isn’t enough, we preview an exciting first-ever fixture away to fellow league newbies Ealing Trailfinders as we both collectively fangirl over Abbey Dow.…
